    , the story of a recent high-school graduate who was pregnant (at the beginning of this school-year) & thinking of quitting---but she decided then to 'Buckle down & finish' & went on to be valedictorian.

    That was at a school where the dropout-rate is (as the principal-herself put it) "not below 55%." Another student was featured who dropped-out for a year-or-so, and then 'just decided to go back to school.'
